Life-long Arsenal supporter, Piers Morgan blasted Arsenal for ‘choking’ at Manchester City. Calling the team ‘a bunch of rabbits’ that were ‘destroyed’ by Pep Guardiola’s side.
With a crushing 4-1 victory over league-leading Arsenal, City put up a magnificent display to take the lead in the Premier League title chase.
At the Etihad Stadium, City dealt the Gunners a possibly fatal blow to their chances of winning the title. Goals from Kevin De Bruyne twice, John Stones once, and Erling Haaland was also on the scoresheet.
What Did Piers Morgan Say About The Match?
TalkTV host Morgan acknowledged on talkSPORT, that Man City played excellently at the Etihad.
‘We choked a two goal lead against Liverpool, we choked a two goal lead against West Ham, struggled to even draw with Southampton, and now were absolutely destroyed by Man City,’ Morgan said.
‘That’s four in four games. I’m afraid there’s no easy way to say it… we have bottled it.
‘I do think it comes down to mentality. We’ve got the ability, we’ve got the talent, we’ve got the players, the youthful zest and energy. We’ve got all those things.
‘I don’t think anybody thought that, man for man, Man City’s players were way better than Arsenal.
‘Truthfully, after that game, every single City player played immeasurably better than the Arsenal players.
‘The best example was that this kid Akanji completely neutered Saka. Saka didn’t get a kick all game and he’s been one of the best players in Europe.

‘Martinelli didn’t get a kick, neither did Gabriel Jesus. None of them did. Partey didn’t have a good game, the defence was awful, Zinchenko didn’t have a good game. I could go on.
‘The whole team were frankly hopeless and I do think it’s a mentality thing.
‘I look at the City team and even in the tunnel they reminded me of those Wenger title winning teams in 1997/98, 2002 team, the Invincibles.’
